Want to automatically advance the slides during your presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint 2016? You can using these steps.
- Open the presentation file you wish to automate, then select “Home“
- Select anywhere in the left “Slides” pane.
- Select the individual slide you would like to advance automatically. If you want to advance all of the slides for the same amount of time, select one slide in the left pane, then press “Ctrl” + “A” to highlight all slides.
- Select the “Transitions” tab.
- In the “Advance Slide” area, check the “After” check box, then set the amount of time that should elapse before PowerPoint advances to the next slide.
Now your slides should change to the next one automatically. You can test the functionality by going to “View” > “Reading View“
Try going to the animation pane and select “With” rather than “on click”.
Then, when the animation indicator pops up in a new box to the right of the slide with the video, double click on it.
A box will appear on your screen. There are two choices in the box: “Effect” and “Timing”.
Select “Timing” and then select the “Triggers” dropdown box.
Select “Animate as part of the Click Sequence.”
Hope that helps.
The autoadvance works fine with regular powerpoint slides BUT I can not get it to work if I have a video on a slide. ANY HELP?
Yes, I have not found a solution.
I have the same problem as Joy. In older PP 2007 this works well with Slides and mp3 files. I’ve got the problem after some months with office 2016 and Windows 10..
My pc is cleaned up and have good quality.
Have you still the problem Joy…?
No apps are running in the background. The RAM is 6 GB, whereas my old laptop only had 4 gigs.
RAM would be an issue. Also if you have a lot of applications running in the background, it would slow you down.
I googled how to check the speed. All the numbers listed next to PROCESSOR are larger in the new laptop (with 2016 PowerPoint) than the numbers listed on my old laptop. Seems like the speed would be adequate.
I don’t know what a WAV file is, but I don’t think the audio file is too large. It’s just a song from my iTunes, and the same PowerPoint document plays fine on other computers. I have also transferred some other similar documents from another laptop, and I have the same issue with them on the 2016 version of PowerPoint.
Perhaps the speed of the computer is a problem. How would I check on that?
Could it be possible that the audio files are too large in size? Make sure you are using MP3 format or something small. Not WAV files. Also it could be the speed of your computer.
After using 2007 PowerPoint for several years, I have switched to 2016 PowerPoint. I created slides with song lyrics and attached an audio file. I rehearsed the timings, and the music plays fine. The times vary for each slide. The slides are advancing but at a slower pace than what I set. So the lyric slides keep getting farther behind as the slides advance. What is causing this delay?
Nice feature. Any ideas on how to reproduce 2010 functionality if we only want the slide to auto-advance after the appropriate mouse clicks within that slide?
